Ancelotti Dispels Resignation Rumours, Commits To Real Madrid Until 2029.
In a decisive and clear statement before Real Madrid’s upcoming Champions League clash with Salzburg, manager Carlo Ancelotti has firmly squashed rumours of his departure from the Spanish giants. Speaking to the media, Ancelotti articulated his desire to remain at the helm of Real Madrid for an additional four years, aligning his tenure with that of the club’s president, Florentino Pérez.
“I’ve absolutely NOT decided to leave Real Madrid… I hope to stay for FOUR more years, same as president Florentino Pérez,” Ancelotti stated. He went on to express his vision for a grand farewell in 2029, “That would be perfect in order to do a big farewell together in 2029!”
The Italian tactician made it unequivocally clear that the decision for his departure would not be his own. “I want to be very clear: I will NEVER decide when I have to leave Real Madrid, it’s not myself deciding,” he reiterated, emphasizing, “It will NEVER be myself deciding when to leave Real Madrid.”
When quizzed on whether he felt envious of Manchester City’s significant financial outlay during the January transfer window, Ancelotti was dismissive. “No, not at all! We have a very good squad,” he responded, reflecting on the resilience and adaptability of his team. “Look at last season for example. We lost players, but it was an even more competitive season. That could happen again this season.”
This statement comes at a crucial juncture as Real Madrid prepares to face FC Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday night, a match that could set the tone for the remainder of their campaign in Europe’s elite competition. Ancelotti’s commitment not only quells any speculation about his future but also signals a stable leadership at one of football’s most storied clubs.
As Madrid’s faithful look forward to what could be another golden era under Ancelotti’s stewardship, his words today have undoubtedly reinforced the bond between the coach and the fans, promising more years of competitive football and the pursuit of glory both domestically and on the European stage.
